1. Ali

and
3. De la hoya (let me explain this last choice. During my time in prob stat class i did some math and found out that upwards of 16% of the worlds population will have a barely-functional or lower iq level. These are probably the three most publicized boxers of all time. I'm sure if you asked some of the "intellectually challenged" people in america or anywhere else de la hoya would show up quite readily as an answer to this question.)
And if you ask someone to name a make of a car they would probably say Ford or Chevrolet but it doesn't mean they make the best cars!Ali gets shoved down everyones throats every day!ESPN classics should be renamed the Ali network!Ali was the self proclaimed greatest and everyone has bought into this even if they haven't seen one of his fights!Marketing is an amazing thing.I won't even get into comparing Wladimir with Ali because they are very different all around and there is absolutely no way to make a legitimate comparison having fought in different eras.
i agree
The thing is this.....Wlad is not even the best of his era so how can he be compared to a legend? End of story.
What fighter is better right now than Wladimir?
He would not have beaten Peter without holding so that means Peter is better. He's gonna avoid Peter at all costs, trust me. Especially now that Peter has improved.
ok so lennox lost all his fight for holding.

there no way he gona avoid peter but he will knock peter out since he improven, the truth is peter was called the next foreman or tyson before when wladimir flushed him, he become a no one
i remember everyone thought peter was gona ko wlad, the truth is ppl forgot wlad is the youngest gold medaliit of all time at SHW and become world champion at 24, peter is 26 and still has nothing
remember how tyson or prince naseem never were the same fight since they first loss, just like that peter was finish when wlad beat him and peter would have knocked out james toney in 1st round if he was the same fight 1 yr ago. Trust me some ppl never recover from they loss because they obseessed with winning but wlad will knock out peter in rematch because wlad overestimated peter power and basically did just seem to want to win on point than k.o
first let peter fight maskaev, don't forget hasim beat james toney
